The follow-up to the best-selling Lamborghini of all time has a lot riding on its shoulders, but by sticking close to its forerunner’s brash looks and fierce performance while improving on the basic figures, the Gallardo LP560-4 has ensured its acceptance and success. The growling 560PS (412kW) 5.2-litre V10 powerplant for which it’s named is the heart of the update, though new sheet metal and upgraded suspension also play a role in the LP560-4’s arsenal of performance.

Lamborghini has once again teamed up with Italian fashion house Versace to create a special edition package for its Murcielago LP640 Roadster plus a range of new accessories. Versace, Lamborghini’s Centro Stile and specialists from the ‘ad personam’ personalisation project worked together to create the new edition’s unique interior fittings and exterior colour schemes. Like the Versace Murcielago LP640 revealed two years ago, the Roadster is expected to be available for Australian delivery upon its release.

At the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, just outside Rome, Italy, BMW unveiled a concept car paying homage to the legendary M1 supercar. The M1 Homage keeps the classic proportions and essential essence of the M1, but updates its form to the cutting edge of modern automotive design.

Lamborghini’s new jetfighter-inspired supercar has finally broken cover and we can now reveal that the €1 million supercar will be called the ‘Reventón.’ The car will be manufactured in a limited run of just 20 copies and is powered by a 650hp 6.5L V12 engine. Peak torque stands at 660Nm and drive is sent through the permanent Viscous Traction AWD system via Lamborghini’s e-gear transmission. As in the original Murciélago LP640, the Reventon accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and has a maximum speed of over 340km/h.
